Analyzed image’s number, attributes dataType and pos
Start of container for blob, Index number of the found blob according to current blob
sorting order. Index 0 is the first blob. Name refers to the blob tool's name in the Tools
tab
Number of found blobs
Blob center of gravity (x position), "pixels" or "mm"
Blob center of gravity (y position), "pixels" or "mm"
Blob area in pixels
Angle of the blob, in degrees or radians depending on the configured value in the Ethernet
Result Output dialog
Structure value (number of edge pixels inside the blob)
Edge flag: 0= the blob is fully within the ROI, 1=the blob touches ROI border
End of container for Blob
Attribute dataType Casts to the specified datatype. When using EtherNet/IP the at-
tribute dataType specifies the dataType section in the selected
assembly. The attribute dataType can be SINT, INT, DINT or REAL.
For more details about dataType and pos see table in Sec-
tion A.3.2, “Attributes” (page 49).
Attribute pos Used by EtherNet/IP to determine a position in the dataType
section in the selected assembly. The first position number of
the dataType section is 0. The range of the attribute pos depends
on which assembly is used. For example if assembly 1 and
dataType section SINT is selected the range of position is 8, i.e.
[0, 7]. For more details about dataType and pos see table in
Section A.3.2, “Attributes” (page 49).
